If someone is sent pornographic images (nudity) of someone under 17 to a web based email account, such as gmail or yahoo, and they view the images but do not download them is this a crime in the state of California?

In other words, if an image is never on your hard drive, is it ''yours'' and could you get in trouble simply for receiving and viewing it in an email?

For the record no child porn is being distributed/received (nor will it be), regardless of the answer.
